Connectedness

Many ideas people have occur at the same time or in close proximity.  Perhaps, this suggests a collective conscience.  For instance, Alexander Graham Bell is credited for patenting the telephone, but at the about same time he applied a German, Johann Philipp Reis, also applied for the same patent.  It was such a short period of time that perhaps the German may have received the patent if perhaps he spent less time warming his lunch, or his wife hadn’t nagged him to take out the garbage sooner rather than later.  Who was first?  And, more importantly; does it matter?  I understand that patents and ideas are very important to business, yet it seems absurd to give a financial monopoly to an inventor, when it was really two or more that had the idea at the same time.  These sorts of things end up in courts, but when it comes to who is first, I wonder if there is usually or even occasionally justice.

Utopian Atheism: A Threat to an Age of Peace

One of the greatest threats I see to entry to the Messianic age, what is referred to as the 1,000 years, in the book of Revelation, is the idea of the noble atheist.  “Noble atheists” don’t believe in Gd because they see everything that is bad that has happened in history as the result of human faith; things such as the Crusades, the Inquisition, and more recently the Holocaust.  IMHO these horrors have everything to do with Gd, and that there are winners and losers.  The righteous receive rewards.  The wicked are eventually punished or cut off.

The concept “noble atheist” is the idea that if we could just rid humanity of god or God in every way, because there is not Gd according to atheists, then we could achieve some sort of utopia.  This is the ideal to atheists that is unlike other utopias in that it is more like what atheists might term normal living through not associating Gd to life’s ups and downs.

My fellow friends, this is not what Gd wants for us and I don’t believe that He will tolerate all noble atheists, as some of these people, like Christopher Hitchens, will probably just grow angrier and angrier at Gd until their punishments become unbearable, leading them to death.  They won’t even know that the stones thrown from the heavens, nor their followers know that the stones thrown at them from the heavens are due to their deeds because they have wronged the Almighty.

Eventually, Gd will not tolerate the idea of the noble atheist, except for maybe the secular humanist, because these people are cut off from Gd’s word, the Bible.  As Ravi Zacharias said, “Without the Bible, the world would be without a compass.”  Now I know he, Ravi, is a Christian.  However, there are a lot of Christians that do a lot right, and just a little wrong.  I know that I have associated Christianity as being one of the great evils of our world, and that Hashem is the only answer to Christianity, but that is not to say nothing good ever came from Christianity.  Hopefully, Christians will come to see that Judaism is the only way, and that Jesus does not represent, “The way, the truth and the life,” at all for Talmud includes, “Jesus is in hell where he is boiling in hot excrement.”
